William Henry Smart (Bill) to most of his friends was born in the year the Titanic sunk 1912. On
August 7th. He passed away on August 8th. 1992. The day after his 80th. birthday. That is 16 years
ago today. And he is missed as much now as he was then. He had several brothers, and one sister,
Mary. He had two sons, Harold and David. Sadly, David passed away, so he is now with his mum and
dad. He was married to Ethel for quite a while but sadly she passed away and Dad not being the sort
of man who liked living alone, met and married my mam, Edna on 10th. June 1972. They were married
for 20 years before illness took my Dad home again. He was my step-dad but I couldn't have
asked for a nicer man to be my "Dad". He looked after me and my son, after my son was
born.
He worked at Irlam Steel Works for most of his working life.
He loved nothing better than a pint and a bet and a game of Bingo. He also enjoyed watching and
playing green bowling. He also always found any bargains that were around, he loved nothing better
than being able to say that he had got this or that for next to nothing. His favourite holiday
places were Weymouth and Rhyll.
We don't talk about him as often as maybe we should, but he's never far away from our
minds. We miss him so much.
God Bless Dad. Happy Birthday for yesterday (7th) and for your anniversary today (8th). Hope you are
happy. xxxxxx

Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX
I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.
My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.
For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.

Dear Mr Hallmark
I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my loved ones, as there finding it very hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a person who lives in heaven.
They are still my loved ones too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my family so.
They talk with me, and dream with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My loved ones carries me in there heart, there tears they hide from sight.
They write poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
They plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
They write to other grieving familys, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my family of there wondrous worth.
They need to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the people of earth will do.
Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me
Until I can do it for myself, when they join me in eternity
xx with love xx
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart
From me to you.......
......this message comes,
I need to get it right.
Sometimes the thoughts inside my head
make me feel so uptight.
There's so much I want to say to you,
but can't get the words to say
of how I long for and how I miss
seeing you each day.
There's no-one now to tell me off
If I stray from the fold,
It's me that does the telling off,
oh my that does make me feel old!
God bless Dad xxx Kathleen

LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU ALL SHANNON XX
A BIG HUG X
A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know
life aint so bad.
Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared
So pass one on to show you care.
Sent with all my love and thanks X
